Once there is a prejudice in his heart, then no matter what Liu Zongzhou says, Zhu Youzhen will not listen to it. He frowned, and was thinking about how to send this Donglin leader who sold smuggled goods out of Beijing, when suddenly his eyes saw that Liu Zongzhou's body was trembling, which was a sign of physical exhaustion.

Kneeling on the ground and reciting the contents of the recital aloud and clearly is difficult for a young man to do for a long time. Liu Zongzhou's recitals were three times longer than those of ordinary officials, and he always maintained strict etiquette, so he consumed more physical strength than ordinary people. But even so, Liu Zongzhou still insisted on reading meticulously and refused to omit a sentence.

Liu Zongzhou's serious appearance suddenly eliminated most of the disgust that rose in Zhu Youzhen's heart. Zhu Youzhen looked thoughtfully at Liu Zongzhou, who was reciting the recital, and only then did he turn his mind back and choose to continue listening seriously.

Regardless of the content of this recital, Liu Zongzhou always respected him with the courtesy of a courtier to a king, so Zhu Youzhen could not help but make the same respectful behavior, such as listening carefully to Liu Zongzhou's recital.

In fact, what Zhu Youzhen didn't know was that due to his previous order to recall all the demoted officials, Liu Zongzhou returned to the capital two years earlier than in his previous history, so this Shangshu has reduced the content to a considerable extent.

In history, because Chongzhen regarded all the officials who were not members of the Donglin Party as eunuchs, or the henchmen of the Afu Eunuch Party, the Donglin Party was a dominant family in the DPRK. The Donglin Party members, who easily ascended to power, were busy sharing the spoils in addition to retaliating against the eunuchs.

Because Chongzhen took the initiative to help the Donglin Party clean up their political enemies, the Donglin Party did not need to quickly recall those upright ministers who were the face of Donglin.

However, Chongzhen in this time and space did not completely clean up the eunuch party and let the Donglin Party preside over the government, but intentionally or unintentionally blocked the attack for those officials who had succumbed to Wei Zhongxian. In this way, the first thing that these Donglin Party members in the DPRK and China are concerned about now is to recall the famous Donglin Party ministers back to the DPRK and Central China to deal with the remnants of the eunuch party who have lost their leader.

Regarding Liu Zongzhou's reputation, Su Changqing in his previous life had never heard of it. However, just now Wang Chengen gave him a few words, and he knew that this Liu Zongzhou was not only a member of the Donglin Party, but also a very famous scholar.

For the Donglin Party, Zhu Youzhen was born vigilant. He knew that in this civil official group, although there were many people who chose to die after the death of the Ming Dynasty. But many more chose to surrender to the Manchus, and became accomplices in helping the foreign people suppress the Han resistance.

Originally, Zhu Youzhen thought that this Liu Zongzhou was about a figure similar to Qian Qianyi, and he was a representative of the Donglin Party who wanted to fight for power from him.

However, after listening to Liu Zongzhou's recital, Zhu Youzhen was a little puzzled. If Liu Zongzhou is really the representative elected by the Donglin Party, he actually did not blame all the mistakes on the eunuch party when it comes to party disputes, which is really not like the Donglin Party in his memory.

After Liu Zongzhou finished speaking, Zhu Youzhen did not immediately express his position, but carefully observed the civil officials below. Based on his experience at the court meeting these days, Zhu Youzhen summed up the style of the eunuch party and the Donglin party in the deliberations of the court.

If the eunuch party wants to promote something or impeach someone, it is usually the head of a certain department who stands up first to express his opinion, and then his henchmen have come out to express their support. It is rare that there will be cross-departmental eunuchs to help on the sidelines, and even if there are, there are only a few fixed people.

However, this is not the case with the Donglin Party's deliberations in the DPRK and China, after the Donglin Party members in a certain department propose a matter, there will definitely be officials of similar rank in other departments to stand up and support it, and the officials who echo it will not be the same person every time. This way of echoing each other from afar seems to be as if the Donglin Party did not have private contact, and it was completely out of fair support.

Perhaps people in this era will think that these two completely different manifestations represent that the eunuch party is forming a party for personal gain, while the Donglin party is dedicated to the public.

But for Su Changqing, who crossed over from the era of knowledge explosion, this is just an ordinary routine.

In Zhu Youzhen's view, these two ways can only mean that the so-called eunuch party does not exist at all, and this is just a small political group of all kinds, and the hedgehogs gather under the big tree of Wei Zhongxian to huddle together for warmth, in order to resist the political pressure of the powerful Donglin party.

Therefore, the eunuch party has no organization in the political affairs of the court, and everyone only pays attention to the interests of their own small group. Although the Donglin Party is not yet a modern political party in the true sense, the Donglin Party has a considerable degree of organization in the point of Tongqi Lianzhi.

It is no wonder that the predecessors of the Eunuch Party, the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang Parties, were forced to be cornered by the Donglin Party, and finally defected to Wei Zhongxian.

Therefore, according to the routine of the Donglin Party, after Liu Zongzhou is finished, several officials will definitely stand up to support it in order to create public opinion.

Zhu Youzhen waited quietly, he didn't make a sound, and Liu Zongzhou continued to maintain a kneeling posture on the ground.

At this time, the whole square suddenly fell into an indescribable silence, and to Zhu Youzhen's surprise, not a single official stood up to support or oppose Liu Zongzhou's dismissal.

The eunuchs were waiting for Chongzhen's statement, while the Donglin party didn't seem to want to shed the muddy waters created by Liu Zongzhou. Liu Zongzhou seemed to be prepared for this kind of silent pressure, he didn't feel half annoyed, but felt that when he said what he wanted to say, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Qian Qianyi, who was standing beside him, looked at this colleague with some unbearability, and Qu Shiyun, who was standing among the two, couldn't help but admire this stubborn Donglin senior. Whether it was Qian Qianyi or his disciple Qu Shiyun, they didn't think that Liu Zongzhou had any point in playing this kind of content at this time.

Chongzhen had just ascended the throne not long ago, but he was just a young man with no education. Even if the ancestors are resurrected, they may not be able to sort out the malpractices left over from more than 100 years.

Even a character like Zhang Jiangling is just pasting a few pieces of paper for Daming's broken house to block the wind and rain.

Although Liu Zongzhou is known for his knowledge, he simply doesn't know anything about general affairs. The content of this recital, except for piercing the facts that everyone knows in front of Chongzhen, has no means and ways to solve the problem.

Liu Zongzhou said that it was nothing more than a rehash of the same old tune. Governing the country with benevolence and righteousness is the concept of governing the country put forward by the Confucian sage when he was alive, but what dynasty has it realized today? He recommended to Chongzhen the idea of prudence and independence that he invented, and wanted Chongzhen to become Yao Shun first, and then use Yao Shun's learning to practice the way of Yao Shun, and the world would be at peace.

Qian Qianyi had only heard of Liu Zongzhou's pedantry in the past, but today he finally saw it with his own eyes. He couldn't help but secretly complained, "Even if Your Majesty is Yao Shun, why is it that the court and the middle are all Yi Ya, Ji Diao, and Gongzi Kaifang, how can Da Ming do the way of Yao Shun?" ”

After listening to Liu Zongzhou's dismissal, Qian Qianyi immediately felt that this out-of-the-box old master would definitely not be favored by Chongzhen. Today, there are three major problems in the Ming Dynasty, the military affairs in Liaodong are bad, the state taxes are insufficient, and the upper and lower officials are governing, and Liu Zongzhou's superiors have not solved any problems, but have just earned their own personal political reputation.

And Chongzhen's long silence also made Qian Qianyi feel more and more that his judgment was correct. At this time, Qian Qianyi began to think about whether he should help Liu Zongzhou if the emperor couldn't stand it and got angry on the spot. After all, Liu Zongzhou is also highly respected, and he has a large number of disciples in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and his influence is not small.

When Qian Qianyi was thinking about it, Chongzhen suddenly stood up and walked down the steps. Zhu Youzhen's actions not only surprised the officials at the court, but also Wang Chengen beside him was about to faint in fright, which was a big loss of honor.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, except for Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, there has never been an emperor who stepped down from the Danqi at the court meeting. If Chongzhen makes any more indecent moves, as the number one close attendant by the emperor's side, Wang Chengen will have to carry this black cauldron that failed to prevent the emperor's disgrace. Because the emperor will not make mistakes, and he is not allowed to make mistakes, so when the emperor makes a mistake, he must have been seduced by villains and traitors.

Wang Chengen looked at the back of Chongzhen who walked down the Danqi with a bitter face, and secretly prayed in his heart, Chongzhen must not be provoked by this old rotten Confucian and make any unwise moves.

Zhu Youzhen stopped in front of Liu Zongzhou, and Qian Qianyi opened his mouth, wanting to distinguish one or two for Liu Zongzhou, but finally did not make a sound.

Qu Shiyun beside him impulsively came out of the ranks, bowed down to Chongzhen, and said: "Your Majesty, no, Mr. Qishan is just..."

However, Chongzhen's next move blocked the words that Qu Shiyun wanted to say.

I saw Chongzhen bend down, stretched out his hands to support Liu Zongzhou's arm, and said: "Mr. Qishan, please get up, what Mr. said is like Huang Zhong Dalu, which is deafening." Although I am young, I dare not sit back and listen to what my husband says, and I am indifferent. ”

Whether Chongzhen is angry, silent, or even let people drag him down to the court, it will not surprise Liu Zongzhou.

But Chongzhen came down directly from the throne to support him, which was really something he didn't expect. This kind of treatment that exceeds the norm, Liu Zongzhou does not think that he deserves it for the performance he just had.

Regarding Chongzhen's unexpected move, Liu Zongzhou had both the joy of being accepted by the king, but also the fear of not understanding Chongzhen's intentions.

After Zhu Youzhen helped Liu Zongzhou up, he glanced at the officials standing on both sides of the royal road, and his outrageous behavior just now made these civil and military officials a little stunned, and they couldn't help but start whispering.

Under the picketing of the wind and the imperial history, the civil and military officials on both sides of the royal road finally regained their calm. After Zhu Youzhen looked at the officials around him, he found that looking at these officials from the Danqi and looking at these officials from the Danqi were like traveling through two different worlds.
